Attention! This is a legacy build of the Mega Man RPG from 2017 and is no longer being maintained.
Reported bugs will not be fixed and any progress made here will not be saved.
Return to the archive index for more legacy content or
play the current version of the game for all the new stuff.
The current version of the prototype has many bugs, as will many version in the future. This is inevitable, all we can do is fix them as they come up and then move on.
Some bugs and issues, however, do not want us to move on. Unfortunately there are some quirks with the prototype that I have not been able to fix yet and unfortunately get reported a lot. I would like to list the most common ones here so that you know you are not alone in your struggles and we are aware of the issue.
Items will be taken off this list when/if they ever get fixed, but until then you just have to deal with 'em. Let's get started!
* This game only works in modern, updated browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Opera is iffy and Internet Explorer is just a "no". If you use one of the less-than-desirable browsers and it doesn't work properly you're on your own. Browsers are free, downloads are small, and dealing with Microsoft's backward system is not on my list of priorities. Sorry. :|
* Even though the games works fairly well in modern browsers, it can still lag sometimes and has a really nasty crashing bug its tab goes inactive during a battle. If the transitions are too choppy you should lower your message speed in the "Options" menu, and if you need to switch tabs click the little pause button at the top of the battle window before you do (or wait until you're back at the main menu again). You've been warned.
* Every single turn your actions are sent back to the server and the results sent back to you after being calculated. If your browser session somehow expires while you're in the middle of a battle (maybe you have aggressive cookie settings, maybe you left the battle idle for way too long, etc.) the entire battle will be ruined and you'll have to start over. Hundreds of robots will appear on-screen in a glitched out manner and you will not be able to do anything constructive so don't try. Reload the prototype and see if you need to log in again.
* Slightly related to above issue, sometimes there will be a fatal error on the server and the battle will be unable to continue causing an endless "Loading..." screen. After a set amount of time, an alert will appear asking you if you want to resend your last action, but most of the time it will not work and the battle may need to be restarted entirely. This is obviously a game-breaking bug that should be fixed, but at the moment it's incredibly hard to diagnose. At the very least, any experience points earned in battle before the bug occurs will NOT be lost.
I know this issues are really annoying and can make your throw the mouse across the room, but please understand that I will fix them as soon as I am capable and I feeeeeeeel your pain. Thank you for baring with me and these bugs and thank you soooo much for playing the prototype! :D

Top Spin is not very accurate, so the chance of anyone getting that many hits in one use means that he/she got lucky. When MegaBossMan says that it's a gamble, he means that you have to decide whether or not you want to take the chance to use it. It can either hit a low amount of times, thereby wasting your turn, or it can hit many times if you get lucky.

No, Light's is about 50 because I haven't done a battle since they reset, same with Cossack, but Wily is always 39, no matter what, despite it usually being 44(like you said). Also, I wasn't talking about the RM, I'm talking about the field XD I've been playing for quite some time(back when Proto was on Wily's) and I've never experienced something like this. Nothing too big, though.
EDIT: Whenever I use attack mode and get 9999 stats, they don't receive any stat boosts, saying +0, despite it being a boost.
I have to agree with MegaBossMan, Brorman, and TheDoc a page back when they talked about a feature to keep someone logged in. I lost quite a bit of progress with grinding Disco when I had the idea to make a long post. I made the mistake of not saving before I made the post, and I got logged off. I had the idea of copying the message before posting, but I lost the ingame progress. Grinding the support characters to max stats is very tedious, so I'm pretty mad right now. Could have been prevented, though, so it's pretty much all my fault. Still, that feature would be nice to have.

I know everyone here probably knows this bug and it probably can't be fixed(or maybe it's not a bug), but when you log out, you don't log out on the leaderboard right away. It usually takes about 30 minutes for you to disappear from the leaderboard.
EDIT: Ok. I knew it was something like that, but it never hurts to ask. Unless you ask something rude, but I'm not getting into that. Or if you just say a statement instead of a question and it's....What am I doing?
@MegaBossMan : To be honest, this is on purpose. You see, it would be too server intensive to actually watch everyone to see if they're still active or not so I (kind of) cheat and guess if people are still online by their "last accessed" variable. This date variable is updated every time you view a website page or return to the prototype's main menu. If you're in battle for a long time though, it would look like you left the MMRPG for 10 mins but you actually have been there the whole time. If your session cookie lasted long enough you might even go 30 mins without "checking in" to the server. It is because of this that I have the online indicator set to display people who checked in within the last 30 minutes. I could easily have it set lower, but then online player encounters would happen less often and it would not be as fun. Once we have more members and more people online at once, I'll update the variable and decrease the value accordingly. Sorry it's not "real" online! :P
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but the recoil damage from the Danger Bomb seems to receive a boost from Starforce. Thus, with enough Staforce, the recoil can easily get to 100%
